From his weekly strips in \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e, to his lauded graphic novels \u003ci\u003eYou're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMooncop\u003c\/i\u003e, Gauld's fascination with the intersection between history, literary criticism, and pop culture has become the crux of his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow in paperback, with a new cover and smaller size, \u003ci\u003eGoliath\u003c\/i\u003e is a retelling of the classic myth, this time from Goliath's side of the Valley of Elah. Goliath of Gath isn't much of a fighter. He would pick admin work over patrolling in a heartbeat, to say nothing of his distaste for engaging in combat. Nonetheless, at the behest of the king, he finds himself issuing a twice-daily challenge to the Israelites: \"Choose a man. Let him come to me that we may fight.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQuiet moments in Goliath's life as an isolated soldier are accentuated by Gauld's trademark drawing style: minimalist scenery, geometric humans, and densely crosshatched detail. Simultaneously tragic and bleakly funny, \u003ci\u003eGoliath\u003c\/i\u003e displays a sensitive wit and a bold line--a traditional narrative reworked, remade, and revolutionized into a classic tale of Gauld's very own.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62084982014322,"sku":"BS-R4W-462991","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2972\/2226\/files\/9781770462991-HD.jpg?v=1784498218","url":"https:\/\/www.novelpanel.com\/products\/goliath","provider":"Novel Panel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
